@Hadithoftheday Madina.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ passed away at the age of 63 in the house/room of Aisha R.A in Madina.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ passed away in 11 AH (11th year of Migration to madinah)
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ passed away a few months after returning from the Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajj)
@Hadithoftheday The Prophet ﷺ was 63 and had fallen ill. Whenever he went to a house of one his wives, he would ask, where am I going tomorrow, hoping for it to be Aisha R.A's house. One night, when it was Maymoona’s R.A turn, he asked to speak to all the wives at once.
@Hadithoftheday When they gathered, he said, “Do you all give me permission to stay at Aisha’s R.A house? I am ill and cannot move around from house to house.” They all said yes.
As the Prophet ﷺ got their consent, he tried to get up to walk to Aisha’s R.A house but he was too ill.
@Hadithoftheday So Ali R.A and Fadl ibn Abbas R.A each took a shoulder and carried him to Aisha’s R.A house. Aisha (RA) relates that he was sweating profusely and saying, “There is none worthy of worship but Allah. Verily, death has pains.”
@Hadithoftheday During his final moments, Aisha’s R.A brother Abdur Rahman had come in holding a siwak (Miswak). The Prophet ﷺ couldn’t speak but looked longingly at it and Aisha R.A understood that he wanted to brush his teeth to meet his Lord with a clean mouth.
@Hadithoftheday She took the siwak from her brother and gave it to the Prophet ﷺ . However, he was too weak and the siwak was too rough for his mouth. So Aisha R.A took the siwak and chewed on it and softened it in her mouth and she brushed his teeth for him.
@Hadithoftheday Aisha R.A said, "My saliva was mixed with his saliva at the end of his life & it was Allah’s blessing on me that the last thing that went into his mouth was my saliva”
She used to say: One of Allah's bounties upon me is that the Prophet ﷺ died in my house, while I am still alive
@Hadithoftheday Aisha R.A said, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ died between my chest and neck while he was leaning against me. Allah has mixed his saliva with mine at his death.
@Hadithoftheday Anas R.A said: “I have never witnessed a more awful or darker day than that one on which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died on.”
@Hadithoftheday In spite of the strain of suffering from pain before passing away, the Prophet ﷺ used to lead all the prayers till that --- four days before he died.
In the evening he grew so sick that he could not overcome the strain of disease or go out to enter the Mosque.
@Hadithoftheday Therefore he ﷺ sent to Abu Bakr R.A to lead the prayer himself. Abu Bakr then led the prayer during those days .
They were seventeen prayers in the lifetime of Muhammad ﷺ
@Hadithoftheday After death of Prophet ﷺ, The great
loss news was soon known by everybody in Madinah. Dark grief spread on all areas and horizons of Madinah..
When Prophet Muhammad ﷺ passed away, some companions could not reconcile with the fact that he was no more.
@Hadithoftheday Senior companions like Umar R.A were ready to kill anyone who would state this fact. At the time of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ 's demise, Abu Bakr R.A saw the reaction of companions, he said the following to counsel them to overcome the emotional turmoil:
@Hadithoftheday Abu Bakr R.A said,
“For those of you who worshipped Muhammad, know that he was a man and he is dead and for those of you who worshipped God (Allah) know that he is alive and eternal. "
@Hadithoftheday Abu Bakr reminded them of message in Quran:
Muhammad is only a messenger. Messengers have passed away before him. If he should die, or be killed, will you turn back on your heels? Those who turn on their heels do not harm the Lord in the least. God will reward the grateful.
@Hadithoftheday Ibn ‘Abbas R.A said: "By Allâh, it sounded as if people had never heard such a Qur’ânic verse till Abu Bakr R.A recited it as a reminder. So people started reciting it till there was no man who did not recite it."
@Hadithoftheday After Abu Bakr R.A's words, Umar R.A said: "By Allah, as soon as I heard Abu Bakr R.A say it, I fell down to the ground. I felt as if my legs had been unable to carry me so I collapsed when
I heard him say it. Only then did I realize that Muhammad ﷺ had really died.
